galrads: Brits... what a bunch of sissies then
Not really, Invasion of Canada
At the opening of the War of 1812, U.S. forces invaded Upper and Lower Canada . Americans expected a relatively easy going; the notion that Canada represented the soft underbelly of the British empire had been popular among American statesmen for some time. Civilian and military leaders alike expected a quick capitulation, forced in part by the support of the local population. But Americans overestimated their support among Canadians, overestimated their military capabilities, and underestimated British power. Instead of an easy victory, the British handed the Americans a devastating defeat.
